One of the biggest reasons for the pervasive clutter in my apartment is a lack of time to deal with it. It takes longer to put a shirt away than it does to just throw it on the floor, so onto the floor it goes. As long as there's a path from the door to my bed, I tend not to ignore and perpetuate the clutter. I'm increasingly realizing, though… Continue reading

In December 2005, Paul Graham published an excellent essay entitled "Good and Bad Procrastination." It is an essay that is worth revisiting from time to time.

I've just had an opportunity to declutter my workspace, having spent half of the day swapping my home office and my son's room around. The swap wasn't an excuse to declutter (rather, to make better use of the utter lack of telephone outlets in our house) but I take every chance I get; we all know how clutter can creep up and before you know it you can't turn around… Continue reading
